The variable weather in Calgary did not disappoint! From – 20C to +10C is a bit of a swing. The snow we had received was now melting into puddles and wet slippery ice. Perfect for a hash run.
Offside Pub & Eatery is an interesting place up Centre Street in the NW. Conveniently in King Shit’s neighbourhood, a great venue to set a trail from.

The pack arrived and waited in the pub for the run to start. Some of us that arrived fashionably late missed the inside part and went right to the circle that Camshaft has organized outside.
Yes, it is this dark at the run start

Camshaft went through the announcements and introductions, then called the hare into the circle.

The pack was released and stumbled off to find the marks and the slippery ice.
The Trail
Finding the initial marks proved difficult. Everything was wet and shiny. Hard to see the marks. Nevertheless, marks were found and the pack headed off to find the wet and slippery trail.
Glazed alleysVery slippery
Quality slippery ice

At some point, Scoobie slipped on the ice and declared his run done. Limping to the regroup was his chosen course of action. Others continued and provided some pictures of the greatest trail I did not complete.

Food and drinks were acquired and the group patiently waited for the down down’s to begin.
The Down Down’s
The Religious Advisor for the evening was Cock Tale. His newfound enthusiasm for the group was rewarded with RA duties, coincident with his late arrival to the circle.
Cock Tale rekindled his RA skills and developed his program for the evening. Many tales were invented and he was ready to go. The beverages were ready and it was time to start.
Refreshments ready!
RA – Cock Tale
Cock Tale selected the choir of Hump the Shark and Hardly, and they proceeded to sing themselves a song and enjoy a down down.
We are the choir!

Trail Summary
The running trail was near 7 km. An excellent wet and slippery trail on a warm evening. King Shit did a great job of making that happen.
With spring in the air, King Shit and Bacchanal volunteered to set trail on this mid April day. The weather was good and the hares had planned a multi stop adventure to celebrate the day. The start point was Citizen Brewing Company, a location familiar to the group. As this was a A to B run. the down downs were at a local pub called Offside Pub and Eatery. Some chose to park in between the A and the B.
The pack assembled at Citizen Brewing, some enjoying a pre run refreshment.

Getting ready for the circle!
Of interest, is that Citizen is next door to Pyro’s secret training centre. We now know how Pyro keeps in good shape!

PMS stepped in and sent us across the street to the customer parking lot to circle up. We had visitors, birthdays and a new boot, plus numerous versions of the hash shit available for distribution.

PMS called the hares into the circle to describe the marks. Bacchanal declared this to be a special day on the calendar, Cake and Cunnilingus Day (C&C Day) and that special treats would be available at the hash hold.
Bacchanal and King Shit give us a pep talkHere are some of the marks
Including viewpoint (VP) and trail treasures (TT)
There were multiple hash holds on the run promising some interesting experiences! As well, there was talk of five playgrounds for your playing pleasure.
We were directed to the first marks and the pack was released.

Up the hill following marks that lead to a false trail. Around in circles through the alleys to eventually find true trail.
